One of my favorite sake brewery is Tanaka Shuzo Brewery in Otaru, which was founded in 1899 and brews sake in a stone warehouse that has an atmosphere reminiscent of the good old days of Otaru. The stone warehouse, built in 1905, is an historical building designated by the city.

Their policy is to use 100% local ingredients for their sake; Japanese rice wine. Why are there several sake brewery in Otaru? The city is blessed with clean and tasty water, and high-quality rice is available around this area!
